Took the boys to the zoo this weekend. 🦒 My favorite part was the four of us running together in the field (well, three of us... but Heath is actually turning into a pretty quick crawler!) Jude’s favorite part was probably seeing the monkey’s butts. Long summer nights are the best. ☀️ #thebadbergboys #chicago #childhoodunplugged #motherhoodrising #letthembelittle #familyfun

Our household is just now turning the corner on our first post pandemic (I hesitate to say that because I know the pandemic isn’t over, but that’s not the point of this post) cold. And let me tell you. It. Was. Rough. 😷 Thankfully it hit G and I on separate weekends so we took turns taking care of the kids while the other rested, but it was still pretty brutal. Jude and Heath only had runny noses but we felt like we were hit by a truck. So I’m ordering sushi tonight to celebrate finally starting to feel like a normal human again. 🎉 They aren’t lying when they say that first cold after quarantine hits you hard! (Also I’d photoshop the dog hair off of Heath’s pants but his onesie says “Dog Person” so I feel like it’s appropriate. 🐶) #thebadbergboys #lifewithlittles #childhoodunplugged #motherhoodrising #summertime

Even though I spend very little time in the kitchen, it’s still one of my favorite parts of a home. When we first moved into our current place, we knew we wanted to do some updates, and as much as I dream about a full kitchen renovation, we didn’t want to spend the time or money since we knew this place wouldn’t be home for forever. It’s amazing what painting the cabinets, new hardware, and swapping out the lighting can do! Best part was the same workers who did our flooring were also able to make these changes for us. It helped brighten things up and over time has me ALMOST growing fond of the 90s granite counters. 😬 Swipe to see what it looked like when we bought the place!

Had the most fun, touristy day on Friday at Navy Pier. Rode the Ferris wheel with the boys, drank overpriced to-go boozy lemonades, and let Jude run free in the splash pad. 🎡 Swipe all the way to the right to see how it all started for us in this city. 🥰 #thebadbergboys #chicago #lifewithlittles #chicagoblogger #motherhoodunplugged

And just like that, five months flew by. Today we head back to Chicago, and while I miss my “things” and can’t wait to see my closet, it’s extremely bittersweet (much more bitter than I thought it would be, honestly.) I’m going to miss our morning walks to the park, afternoon tea with my mom, and feeding the ducks on the lake with Jude. I know I poke fun at Florida, but we got into a routine here that I’m sad to be leaving behind. So grateful for my parents and their unconditional love, and for letting us overtake their home with toys and baby bottles... I don’t think there was one part of their house that didn’t have a stack of diapers and wipes. Raising children is tough and living far away from your family while doing it really, really sucks. I’m horrible with goodbyes, and as the boys get older, it just gets harder and harder, and I know this is a struggle that so many of my other friends deal with too. But so thankful we had the opportunity to stretch our legs these last few months in warm weather, and for Sunday dinners together. ❤️ #motherhoodunplugged #floridalife #petitejoys #thehappynow #thebadbergboys #thelastslidetho
